TAIHAPE

THE MAJESTIC “HEART’S DESIRE” Richard Tauber’s enthralling voice | bus never been heard to better advant- i age than in ‘ Heart’s Desire,” which [ will be screened at t'lie Majestic 'Theatre commencing to-m-ofow. The j biergarten set where, as “ 8; .idler,” an | Austrian singer with great local popularity, Richard Tauber holds everyone entranced by his marvellous rendering of “Vienna, City of Aly Dreams,” is said to be mo-st effective. The film promises to make Tauber supieme on the screen, as he already is on stage and concert platform. It is in the “Heuringer” that a rich English girl, cleverly played by Leonora Corbett, first meets “Steidler. ” She is in search of a tenor to sing in the new opera composed by her boy-friend (played by Carl Harbord) in London, and immediatelv she hears “Steidler” she realises that her quest is over. Steidler ks not anxious to leave the biergarten an- 1 his little sweetheart, but she overrides his objections. He is finally persuaded to go, where Steidler becomes a sensation overnight.
